Title: Seed Potatoes for 2005
Post by: Lady Cosmos on September 14, 2004, 12:36:01

Can anyone recommend a mail order supplier ( preferably via the Internet) of Pentland Squire seed potatoes or alternatively a supplier in the vicinity of Hereford or Exeter for 2005.

Thank You

If near Exeter try Tuckers seeds at Ashbutron.

Their web site is being revamped at the moment but they are an excellent company, my familly has been using them for over 50 years on a commercial basis and I use them for the garden to this day.

The web site is:

Contact number is:

Address is:

Brewery Meadow,
Stonepark,
Ashburton,
Newton Abbot,

Not sure if they have published their potato list yet though.

I second Jerry's recommendation

Also, midway between Hereford and Exeter, just off the M5, is the Gloucester Potato Day at Dundry Nurseries, Cheltenham.
It's either the last or second last weekend in January they'll have P Squire plus over 100 other varieties! Their number is 01452 713124

I checked a previous Tuckers catalogue and they did sell P. Squire.
